RICHMOND — The Central Virginia Waste Management Authority will host a Recycling Fair and Circularity Celebration Saturday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 2100 W. Laburnum Ave., Richmond.

The fair will feature free drive-through recycling opportunities, such as electronics recycling, document shredding and used clothing drop-off.
